"Heaven" (Tom Herberg — Guthrie Theater/The Minnesota Star Tribune)

The Flying Foot Forum revisits the darkness of war-torn Bosnia in the early 1990s with "Heaven," a dance theater work that pairs choreographer and director Joe Chvala's signature percussive dance innovations with a fiery Balkan-influenced score. Expect pop, rap, opera and other musical sources as well as original compositions from Chan Poling, a familiar name to fans of the Suburbs. The story follows an American war photographer as he experiences firsthand a country under siege, where humanity reveals its worst capabilities - and sometimes, surprisingly, its best. (7:30 p.m. Fri., Sat., Wed., Thu., April 1, 2, 6 & 9; 1 p.m. Sun., April 2, 9 & 10; 7 p.m. Sun, April 2-3. $18-$30. Ends April 10. Guthrie Theater, 818 S. 2nd St., Mpls. 612-377-2224 or guthrietheater.org).
